When I was in high school and college I had terrible acne that I use to put clearicil on all the time. This stuff was probably terrible for your skin and it really did not do all that much but I had it all over my skin pretty much every single night and who knows I was really putting on there. I really wish that there were things like blue light therapy when I was younger. If my children get acne like I did I will be looking into alternative ways to treat it rather than putting terrible and poisonous creams all over their faces.
